Tucson, Arizona | Published: 12.07.2007
PHOENIX — Former U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth said Thursday that the Justice Department has told his lawyers they’ve decided against a formal investigation into his ties to disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
Hayworth made the comments on his radio show on KFYI-AM. He blamed Democrats for focusing on his ties to Abramoff and said the criticism was one of the primary reasons he lost his seat to Democrat Harry Mitchell in November 2006.
Hayworth, a 12-year Republican incumbent, was heavily criticized for his connections to Abramoff during the election race.
Hayworth received $2,250 from Abramoff while representing Arizona’s 5th District, which includes all of Tempe, Scottsdale and Fountain Hills and parts of Chandler, Mesa and Phoenix.
He eventually donated that money to charity while cooperating with federal authorities who were investigating corruption in Congress.
Phone calls to the U.S. Department of Justice press office were not immediately returned Thursday.
Emily Bittner, a spokeswoman for the Arizona Democratic Party, said Hayworth “is confused about why he lost the election.
“He lost for a number of reasons. Voters in this country wanted to move in another direction,” added Bittner.
She also said that Mitchell, a former state senator and former longtime mayor of Tempe, “has served the district well.”
